For xmms you need AudioCD Reader installed, which isn't as default. You can read about it on Derek's site at http://www.jennings.homelinux.net/ Don't be put off by the fact that it talks about not having an audio cable installed. I have such a cable, and still needed that change to make things work. Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] pre-recorded cd and permissions
I put in a pre-recorded cd in my drive a bit ago, clicked on the cd icon and got a box that said I don't have enough permissions to open /mnt/cdrom, tried Although there are ways around it, a prerecorded music CD is not mountable like a data CD, there's really no filesystem. You shoul be able to play it with a CD player. (konqueror has an audiocd browser that you can use to access a music cd like a mounted CD). Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] pre-recorded cd and permissions
I put in a pre-recorded cd in my drive a bit ago, clicked on the cd icon and got a box that said I don't have enough permissions to open /mnt/cdrom, tried my other drive, got the same. A cd that I've recorded mp3's on works just fine. Why won't a pre-recorded one? And what may I have to do to fix it? -- Regards Chris Registered Linux user #283774 @ http://counter.li.org 5:50pm up 11:31, 2 users, load average: 0.01, 0.02, 0.00 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Your MP3s are stored in a computer-readable filesystem. Audio CDs are not mounted the same way, and that's likely your issue. When you put in your audio CD, do you then open a CD player like XMMS or KsCD to play the disc? Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

The audio cd will load up and play with KsCD but not XMMS or Mplayer, any reason why neither work? I use gcombust for this, you just drag your wav files into it and hit 'burn'. For converting mp3 to wav, here is some little script. (it's an early one so don't judge me by it - it's patchwork from others scripts, but it did it for me) You need mpg123 and sox installed (which I guess is pretty much standard). Put it into a text file and make it executable with 'chmod u+x mp32wav' and move it into /usr/bin or something in your PATH. If you start the script with mp32wav *.mp3 in a folder with mp3s or from the Nautilus script folder) it creates a subfolder wav and converts all mp3 into wav files with the same name exept '.mp3' becomes '.wav' b. --- #!/bin/bash # mp32wav mp3file=$* mkdir wav for file in $@ ; do #echo $file wavfile=`echo $file | sed s/\\.mp3/.wav/` printf %-50s %-50s\n $file -- $wavfile # to encode wav--mp3 #lame -h $file $mp3file # to encode mp3--wav mpg123 -b 1 -s $file | sox -t raw -r 44100 -s -w -c2 - wav/$wavfile done --- Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
